Course Summary  

Jim Phillips, P.E. is author of the guide How to Perform an Arc Flash Study in 12 Steps  and is a member of the IEEE 1584 Working Group IEEE Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations. His class on How to Perform an Arc Flash Study has become the industry standard for Arc Flash Training.  Even instructors from other training companies have attended Jim?s classes to see how it?s done. 

 

He takes you well beyond the usual NFPA 70E and IEEE discussions to show you how to perform arc flash calculations and conduct the detailed arc flash study. You will perform calculations of incident energy, arcing current and flash protection boundaries using Jim?s worksheets that are based on IEEE 1584.  The course includes details such as K factors, X distance factor and more.  Also learn how to make recommendations about reducing the incident energy.

Can I use NFPA 70E Table 130.7(C)(9)(a) for the study?

Is it better to use detailed IEEE 1584 calculations?

How do I organize a study?

Where do I obtain the required data?

Do I base the study on maximum fault currents?

Are time current curves a reliable way to determine arc flash clearing time?

What if I have a low arcing current that causes a long clearing time?

What about grounded vs. ungrounded systems?

Do I include motor contribution?

What is the Calculation Factor Cf and when do I use it?

How can I convince electrical workers and management of the study?s importance?
